THE SUPREME COURT.
Small Favors Thankfully Received
and Larger Ones in Proportion.


EDITOR CHIEFTAIN He has at
last opened his mouth and out of
it flows the information that the
supreme court will meet in Octo-
Der. There is nothing remarkable
in this which he proclaims with so
much pomposity because it is we'll
known to all intelligent people of
the Cherokee nation that the su-
preme court meets every October.
To say that the supreme court
meets in October is like chris
tian bishop publishing to his flock
that Jesus Christ was crucifed.
Whether this is monumental ig-
norance of the chief justice or a
carefully laid scheme for carrying
out the frauds of the late election
we cannot say. The latter clause
of his pronunciamento leads one
TO the latter conclusion, for ifthere
be one man in this nation who is
especially unified for sitting as
judge in an election contest grow
ing out of the late election, that
man is James NJ. KEYS, who signs
himself "Chief Justice Supreme
Court, Cherokee Nation" 1t is
asserted, and Judge Keys dare not
deny it, that on the eventful day
of the first Monday in last August,
at Gooseneck precinct, in Coowees-
coowee district, forgetting the high,
honorable position which he held
as the chief officer of the fountain
head of justice, he stood at the en-.
trance of the inclosure that sur
rounded the voting place and he
there bedraggled the sacred ermine
in the filth and slush of political
mire and sent more illegal votes
to the polls than any man on the
ground. Forgetting that he was
the chief justice for the whole
Cherokee people he made himself
the mouth piece for the National
party and was as loud and as noisy
and unconscienceable in his par
tisanism as the ioulest mouthed
pot-house politician on the hust-
ings. Verify, under our present
management, we are on a down
grade to the devil and unless there
is a change our only hope will be
that we are so bad that the devil
himself wont have US. ~

A Fearful Railroad Disaster.

The through excursion train on
the Frisco which left the Union
Depot at st. Louis on Wednesday
morning last, loaded with excur-
sionists en- route to this city to at
tend the fair, met with fearful
accident just as the train was pull
ing into Vinita, in which men wo-
men and children were frightfully
mangled, but, luckily, not a pas
senger was killed. There were
five coaches, three express cars and
one mail car. The coaches were
very crowded while the express
cars were loaded exclusively with
mil linery goods. When nearing
the depot, all at once there was a
terri bic crash, three OF the cars at
the back end rolling over the en-
ban kment while the remainder of
the train ran of to the left, taking
straight down Main street at high
rate of speed until nearing the
ostoffice, when all at once the
whole train ran square into Mrs.
Ironside's Millinery Exposition,
splitting wide open throwing the
goods on all the counters and fill
ing the shelves to overflowing.
By standers, who had been taking
in the situation, ran at full speed
TO where the other cars were which
contained the passengers. One
man, raising wife up, asks, mag
gle, what's the matter ?'' A faint
answer came, 80, John, want one
of those hats" "What hats ?"
"In front cars" Grasped his 15-
year-old daughter by the hand,
"What ails you ?" "Want new
silk dress" "Where ?" sin
front cars" Took his little boy
by the hand, "What hurts you?h
"Oh, I'm paralyzed with the same
ailment." On special inquiry the
only thing that affected the whole
outfit was that they had been
dreaming of the millinery goods
in the front cars and went Off in a
trance. The same thing put the
engineer to sleep which was the
cause Of the wreck. All suits for
damages must be brought against
Mrs. Ironside who is her own at
torney. The wreck has been clear
ed away aud you are most cordial
ly invited to call and see her.
